Dosha Quiz

Guidelines for Determining Your Constitution (Dosha)

Instructions: To determine your current constitution (Vikruti), click on the check box for the trait that most applies to you. If more than one applies, mark the option that best describes you at this current time. This can be used as a starting point to help you discover your constitution, also know as Dosha in Sanskrit.

Please understand that any questionnaire to determine your dosha is merely a starting place for you to discover more about your unique constitution. For a complete assessment of your Prakruti/Vikruti doshas, we recommend a complete Ayurvedic Consultation with a qualified practitioner. To learn more, please contact us.
